In this paper, we study some useful properties of persistent pairs in a discrete Morse function on a simplicial complex $K$. In case of $\dim K=1$ (i.e., a graph), by using the properties, we characterize strongly connectedness of critical…

In this paper, we study a class of discrete Morse functions, coming from Discrete Morse Theory, that are equivalent to a class of simplicial stacks, coming from Mathematical Morphology. We show that, as in Discrete Morse Theory, we can see…

We study transformations between discrete Morse functions on a finite simplicial complex via birth-death transitions--elementary chain maps between discrete Morse complexes that either create or cancel pairs of critical simplices. We prove…

We can approximate a continuous self-map $f$ of a compact metric space by discretizing the space into a grid. Through either the map itself or a time series, $f$ induces a multivalued grid map $\mathcal F$. The dynamical properties of…
